Synopsis

Album Description
My Brother's Blood Machine further develops and expands the concepts established in the Coheed and Cambria albums with such recurring themes as the McCloud Family and references to its missing children. The primary difference is that this album is being told from the point of view of a character known as "The Prize Fighter Inferno" a.k.a. Jesse from the story of Coheed and Cambria. Of the 11 songs on the album, we hear a softer side of Sanchez, enveloped in mellow electronic grooves and gentle compositions. Some tracks adopt dance rhythms while others are hypnotizing in melody and verse.

CD Reviews

Unexpected chilling and innocent album...
M. Fletcher | West Coast, Baby! | 11/08/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have to say that another reviewer here stole my tagline of Claudio Sanchez meets Thom Yorke. That was my first impression of this album when I popped it in after getting it yesterday - I was immediately reminded of Radiohead, which was unexpected.



If you're a fan of Coheed and Cambria not just because they rock hard (which they do), but also because of the incredibly intriguing, detailed, and (at times) difficult to decipher story, you will likely enjoy this album a lot. The sound is very different from Coheed and Cambria, with the exception of some wonderful recognizable guitar work and vocal work on part of Claudio Sanchez.



The songs definitely interconnect with the whole Coheed and Cambria story, this time taking the story from the angle of Coheed's brother Jesse (aka The Prize Fighter, Inferno). Although I haven't listened enough to decipher all of the meanings behind them, they're clearly interwoven with the voices of children, women, and male characters.



This album is much more electronically influenced than Coheed and Cambria, but the great musicianship is still there. Fans of Claudio in particular will likely be surprised, in a good way, by how this album branches out in a different, but familiar, direction.



I gave it five stars because it captivated me instantly. I can't wait for the drive home so I can listen to it again."

"I really enjoyed this album, from the art on the cover, to the tarot card lyric sheets, to the songs themselves. i don't think that i would have loved this album as much as i do, however, unless i was already a Coheed and Cambria fan, and bought it with the knowledge that it was a different story in the same universe. So unless you are a HUGE Co & Ca fan, listen to it before you buy it."
It's different for claudio. don't expect coheed x 2.

"Complete with a stylish collection of tarot cards which serve as the album booklet, this album easily has our pick for featured album cover of the month. But although the album artwork is beautiful, it gives the impression that The Prize Fighter Inferno is a hardcore or cheesy metal band. What the band really is is the side project of Coheed and Cambria vocalist, Claudio Sanchez. The Prize Fighter Inferno plays heavily with electronica, and although Thom Yorke and The Postal Service heavily use electronica, Claudio's version is different. It seems to draw upon less conventional rock n' roll influences, including old school funk, pop, and ambient electronica, to create a diverse and unique album."
